EASY LIME MELTAWAYS DESSERT

INGREDIENTS

•  1 3/4 cups plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
•  2 tablespoons cornstarch
•  1/4 teaspoon salt
•  12 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
•  1/3 cup powdered sugar
•  Grated zest of 2 limes
•  2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice (or key lime juice)
•  1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
•  2/3 cup powdered sugar for serving

INSTRUCTIONS

1. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, and salt. Set aside.
2. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, cream butter and 1/3 cup sugar until fluffy. Add lime zest, juice, and vanilla; beat until fluffy. Add dry ingredients, and mix on low speed until blended.
3. Between two 8-by-12-inch pieces of parchment paper, roll dough into two 1 1/4-inch-diameter logs. Chill at least 1 hour
4. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Line two baking sheets with parchment. Remove parchment from logs; slice dough into 1/4-inch-thick rounds. Place rounds on baking sheets, spaced 1 inch apart. Bake cookies until barely golden, about 15 minutes.
5. Transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool slightly, 8 to 10 minutes. Place remaining 2/3 cup powdered sugar in a resealable plastic bag. While still warm, place cookies in the sugar-filled bag; toss to coat. Store baked cookies in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
